I arrived back on The Rock (Jersey, Channel Islands) exactly a year to the day since I left it!  Having not left Japan in 12 months, it was weird enough to bid it farewell, let alone come back to the land of understandable background conversations, rubbish bins in public places, comprehensible menus...

 

Here's a few photos of home from my first week back in the Island.

without my Dad, of course!)
